1 hr 4 min - Living in the Now
John and Danny discuss whether it's a good idea to focus too hard on living in the "now." We ask whether it's possible (and desirable) for humans to be more animalistic in our thoughts and discuss the implications of distinguishing between the past, present, and future, including why it might be dangerous to dismiss memory and imagination in favour of the present moment.
